In addition to our
general fellowships, AFPF offers specialized fellowships by topic and region,
including business, education, health, investigations, religion, as well as the
Daniel Pearl Fellowships which are offered to journalists who come from areas
that Daniel Pearl covered as a journalist - South Asia, the Middle East
and North Africa. Those receiving specialized fellowships partake in activities
related to their interests. For the Daniel Pearl Fellowships, those activities
are in line with the mission of the Daniel Pearl Foundation - to
encourage dialogue among people of different cultures, reduce cultural and
religious hatred and create a platform for responsible and creative journalism.
Applicants for all fellowships must meet the following minimum criteria: § Current full-time employment as a journalist for the news or editorial department of independent newspapers, wire services, online publications, or magazines of general public interest in a developing country; § At least three years of professional experience as a journalist in the print or online media; § Citizenship of a developing country; § Early to mid-career status and between 25 and 35 years old; § A demonstrated personal commitment to a career in journalism in a developing country; § Ability and desire to share what is learned on the fellowship with journalists at home; § Endorsement from the management of the home publication; § An excellent command of written and spoken English.
